Abstract
A tool handle including: a body configured to receive a handle of a tool; a hand grip extending approximately perpendicular from the body; and an arm ring rotatably disposed on the body, wherein the arm ring is adapted to be placed in at least two positions, a first position in which the arm ring is generally perpendicular to the hand grip such that a user may place the user's forearm through the arm ring to grasp the hand grip and a second position in which the arm ring is generally parallel to the hand grip so as to minimize the width of the tool handle.

A tool handle comprising:
- a body configured to receive a handle of a tool;
- a hand grip extending approximately perpendicular from the body;
- and
- an arm ring rotatably disposed on the body, wherein the arm ring is adapted to be placed in at least two positions, a first position in which the arm ring is generally perpendicular to the hand grip such that a user may place the user's forearm through the arm ring to grasp the hand grip and a second position in which the arm ring is generally parallel to the hand grip so as to minimize the width of the tool handle.
A tool handle comprising:
- a tool handle member having a first crossbar with a free end and an opposite working end;
- and
- an arm ring rotatably disposed on the free end of the crossbar at a point of attachment, being rotatable with a resistance about the point of attachment and being temporarily fixable in selected positions;
- and
- a hand grip secured to and extending generally transversely from the crossbar.
A tool handle comprising:
- a shaft having a proximate end and an opposite distal end, wherein at least the distal end attaches to a tool implement;
- an arm ring disposed at the proximate end of the shaft rotatably engaged with the shaft, wherein the arm ring rotates with a resistance to free rotation;
- and
- a hand grip extending generally transversely from the shaft at less than a cubit from the arm ring and the proximate end of the shaft.
The tool handle of claim wherein the rotational resistance of the arm ring allows independent standing of an inverted tool, wherein the arm ring contacts a substrate.
